Will the 2012 school championships be held at the National Stadium, Providence?

Dear Editor,

I just read in the Guyana Times (June 17) that the Leonora Synthetic Track project is way behind schedule, and that didn’t come as a shock. So, it simply means that the 2012 National School Championships will not be held there. A friend indicated to me that the last time the event was held in Region 2, apparently it was washed out due to the heavy rains. So, I am now taking a wild guess that the Guyana Teachers Union in collaboration with the Ministry of Education might very well be in discussion about whether the championship should go to Region 2 as stated earlier in a GTU report.

I am optimistic that the championships will be hosted at the National Stadium at Providence. This could very well be the last showing of the event at the National Stadium, because as I see it, when that Synthetic Track project is finally completed and I believe it will be in 2013, before the next school games, I forsee all the National School Championships will be held there.

Yours faithfully,
T Pemberton
